January’s Zoom Meeting is with art historian Mae Colburn to introduce and discuss the Swedish tapestries of Helena Hernmarck. Mae Colburn is a New York-based scholar and weaver with an art historical background in textiles and photography. She has worked alongside Helena Hernmarck since 2015, both as studio assistant and as archivist documenting the artist’s nearly sixty-year career. Mae’s essay, “In Helena Hernmarck’s Studio,” appeared in the exhibition catalogue for Hernmarck’s 2018 exhibition at the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum, and her presentation, “Moving into the Museum: Helena Hernmarck’s Blue Wash Tapestries,” was included in the Yale Center for British Art’s Graduate Symposium in 2016. Mae has taught at Parsons School of Design, and is co-founder of the weaving and design collective ‘friends of light.’ More information available at www.maecolburn.info.
